CP CALC In a large vacuum chamber, monochromatic laser light passes through a narrow slit in a thin aluminum plate and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen that is 0.620 m from the slit. When the aluminum plate has a temperature of 20.0 C, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern is 2.75 mm. What is the change in the width of the central maximum when the temperature of the plate is raised to 520.0°C? Does the width of the central diffraction maximum increase or decrease when the temperature is increased?

The intensity pattern in the figure is observed when light from a laser passes through the slits, illuminating them uniformly. The screen is perpendicular to the direction of the light.

- Coherent microwave light with a frequency f= 2.0*1010 Hz is incident on a d=5.0 cm double slit barrier, producing an interference pattern of a number of maxima and minima. A detector is free to swing around the full 180 degrees in order to find the presence of intereference maxima and minima. How many different minima will this detector detect, as it is allowed to swing around the full 180 degrees? Include minima on both sides of the centerkine in your count.arrow_forwardAn experiment is setup to measure the diameter of the sphere in the diagram using sizing measurements based on interference.

The screen is placed at 1.5 m from the slit. The ratio between the intensity at a point that is 45 mm from the center light to the maximum intensity of the diffraction pattern is _ percent.arrow_forwardYour physics study partner tells you that the width of the central bright band in a single-slit diffraction pattern is inversely proportional to the width of the slit. This means that the width of the central maximum increases when the width of the slit decreases. The claim seems counterintuitive to you, so you make measurements to test it. You shine monochromatic laser light with wavelength λ onto a very narrow slit of width a and measure the width w of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern that is produced on a screen 1.50 m from the slit. (By “width,” you mean the distance on the screen between the two minima on either side of the central maximum.) Your measurements are given in the table. (a) If w is inversely proportional to a, then the product aw is constant, independent of a. For the data in the table, graph aw versus a. Explain why aw is not constant for smaller values of a.
